Why this gift works
The Bosch BLAZE GLM165-27CGL Laser Measure reads distances up to 165 feet to within +/-1/16 inch with a green beam and a backlit color display. It has 11 functions including length, area, volume, indirect measuring and a 360-degree inclinometer, sends readings over Bluetooth to Bosch's free MeasureOn app for floor-plan sketches, and runs on an included rechargeable 3.7V battery. It is IP65 rated, weighs 0.22 lb and comes with a belt clip and pouch, per Bosch.
Agents measure rooms for listings, buyers ask whether the sofa will fit, and a tape measure needs two people. A laser measure makes it a one-person, ten-second job.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- Listing agents
- Stagers and property managers
- Anyone measuring rooms
Think twice if
- They own a laser measure
- They want the cheapest option
The catch
It costs far more than a basic laser measure, and 165 ft of range is more than rooms need; the floor-plan and transfer features need a phone with the MeasureOn app; the rechargeable battery is a Bosch-specific pack; and the second warranty year requires registration within 8 weeks.
Skip if they already carry a laser measure, or rely on listing photographers for dimensions.
